Hey crew, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s coming up for the region. To be straight with you, this is a tough outlook. For the next two weeks, the surf at Karramarro is looking pretty flat and unremarkable, with a whole lot of days where you’re better off doing something else.
The first bit of surf worth paddling out for doesn’t show until Friday, the 18th of July. That’s a solid 12-day gap from now with nothing worth recommending. So yeah, you’ve got a long wait ahead.
On Friday afternoon the 18th, we finally see a pulse of swell at Karramarro, a point break suited for advanced surfers that is inconsistent and often has crowds. The swell comes from the NW at 5 ft with a period of 9 seconds, generating moderate wave energy (307). The wind is a light cross-shore from the NW at 6 mph, which is okay but not perfect, leaving a little cross-chop on the face. It’s marginal, and the tide might mess with it, so don’t expect a classic session.
Saturday the 19th looks similar, with the same NW swell at 5 ft and 9 seconds, moderate energy (294), and a light cross-shore breeze. Still only marginal.
That’s the only window with any real size in the whole 16-day run, and even then it’s not clean glassy conditions. For a break that’s inconsistent and often packed, this isn’t the week to get excited. Keep an eye on the forecasts—things can shift, and sometimes a blank run like this turns around quickly.
Rusty.

Information about the Karramarro Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Karramarro provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Karramarro can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Karramarro surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Karramarro) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Karramarro may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
Karramarro is 3 km (2 miles) from Zarautz. If you plan a holiday in Pais Vasco, look for hotels and other accommodation in Zarautz. Zarautz has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
